In New York City, Everybody Goes Into

When I Was 18 I Went To College For Two Years And Didn't Work For A Year Which Was Essential For Me, Because My Identity Had Been So Influenced By My Being An Actor And I Think I Just Needed To Discover What It Was To Be Myself, Divorced From All That Responsibility.

It's Been A Huge Joy, This Experience Of Being A Mom ... I Don't Know How To Articulate It Yet, Because It Is So Fresh.

Growing Up In New York City, I Was Always Encouraged To Question Authority, And I Think I Confused Patriotism With Jingoism.

I Was A Serious Kid To An Absurd Degree. I Was Overwhelmed With Responsibility. You Know, Trying To Play Grown Up. I Overdid It.

My Go-to Gifts Are Scarves From My Friend Matin Maulawizada's Nonprofit Organization, Afghan Hands, Which Supports Disenfranchised Women In Afghanistan. In Exchange For Their Beautiful Embroidery, The Women Are Given Financial Aid And Classes In Math And Literacy. The Scarves Are All Stunning And One Of A Kind.
